In this release we've added lots of samples to match the showcase that we have on the PlatinumGrid web site. You can find these samples in the samples subdirectory of the PlatinumGrid folder.

We've also added a Batch Updates samples to show how you can implement batched updates and deletes on PlatinumGrid just by handling a few events.

In addition, we've significantly enhanced the JavaScript performance of PlatinumGrid so that it renders faster, especially when rendering more than 50 rows at a time.

For those using PlatinumGrid without RadPHP/Delphi For PHP (the vanilla PHP install as we call it), we've changed PlatinumGrid so that it is automatically persistent. You no longer have to call serialize/unserialize manually.

There are also other bug fixes in this release:

Fixed:

AdoDB data access layer used mysql_error method

Design-time rendering of hierarchical data caused infinite loop

Parameter mis-match warnings in PHP 5.3

Error message when auto-generating columns on an empty result set.

Notices when using JTPlatinumGridDateTimeColumn

Export did not use OnRowData

CSV and XLS export did not export column formats correctly.

OS independent path separator was not used for excel writer.
